The Nightmare Factory on the campus of the Oregon School for the Deaf has been scaring people every Halloween since 1987. In creating and performing in the school's major fundraiser, students learn skills in acting, costuming and set design and construction. It takes more than 80 volunteers to create each year's ex-scare-a-ganza!

Disability Visibility: 17 First-Person Stories for Today.
Edited by Alice Wong. Delacorte Press, 2021.


An excerpt from editor Alice Wong's introduction to this young adult edition of her 2020 book, Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the 21st Century.

 

As a young adult, I never heard many stories about or saw images of people like myself. I didn’t have any adult role models who were similar to me. In 2014, I became an activist and created the Disability Visibility Project (DVP), a campaign to record oral histories in partnership with StoryCorps, a national oral history organization. I wanted to expand disability history and encourage disabled people to celebrate and preserve their stories in the lead-up to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 2015.

What started as a one-year oral history project kept going and blew up into a movement. The DVP now has approximately 140 oral histories on record at StoryCorps, a small but mighty archive of the disability zeitgeist. And the project has expanded into an online community that creates, shares, and amplifies disability media and culture through a podcast, articles, Twitter chats, and more.

One reason I tell my own story and share the stories of other amazing disabled people is because I want the world to reflect us—we are diverse, brilliant, and unique. More important, we should tell our stories in our own words; we are the experts about our lives.
